How good will this bike do on hard trails? Such as jumps and rocks?

It is a very nice trail bike but not for professional purpose. Don't push so hard. It goes ok for jumps and rocks as well but again, not in professional use. I am very satisfied that effect.

It does really well on those, I have a bunch of intermediate trails near me and me and my friends hit them all the time and it does a great job!

I have taken it out on some very steep and rocky singletrack and it performs very well. I have not jumped yet.

No. It's really not that bad if you're patient and take your time to assemble the bike. The instructions aren't the greatest, but there manageable. I've been riding some pretty aggressive trails and couldn't be happier with my purchase as a rookie mountain biker.

The bike doesn't have any shocks or anything, but the wheels are molded, meaning they're not inflatable tires, so they can ride over rocks and stuff, sure. The bike is also solidly constructed. My son has taken a couple spills on angled concrete with no harm to the bike (or thankfully, him!), so you should be good. It does require the rider's feet to push the bike, so your grandkids will still need to be able to push it off whatever surface they're riding on. Hope that helps.

the single speed is quite easy to pedal on flat land, however small hills are quite a challenge. I have not tried the 3 speed so I can't say how that performs on hills.

It handles very good on dirt and grass. Acceleration is slow and smooth easy yard. Perfect learning bike. It has 3 speed settings from quick walk to full out sprint. Battery lasts about 3 hrs of mellow riding or 45+ full out. Well worth cash.

I dont find it very heavy, its not really a mountain bike either. I wouldn't take this down a dirt trail or anything, but on paved roads, it light, comfortable, and rides good. Shipping was quick too

Not bad but it also depends on what kind of seat you put on it. Ps this is not a mountain bike so dont expect to ram into the side walk without getting scrambled balls. No shocks here just a stiff ride which allows you to pedal and not lose momentum

This bike will go 15mph on level ground,plenty fast enough for a good ride.I would not buy one because getting it repaired is next to impossible. I am 71 and love this bike however,getting parts to fix it is difficult and shops within 50miles from my home will not TOUCH IT! Buy local and make sure you will be able to get parts.

In my experience the tires are very durable, but they're also essentially slicks with no real gripping power. If the gravel is loose, traction on turns and hills could be a problem. Packed gravel or dirt should be fine... mud would be a problem, though.

I wouldn't recommend it. It bottoms out just trail riding with 160psi. Granted, I am 250lbs... Not happy with it, and if you're jumping, doubt you would be either. Just my $.02

Its a tough pedal. I live on an island so, there is really not much in the way of hills but, even small/short hills can be somewhat tough.

This bike is my wife's bike and she hasn't used it much since I purchased it. It is a well built bike and well worth the money I paid for it. My wife is very happy with it and I'm sure she will enjoy it once we move to our new house. It was purchased to use on bike trails.

I think it will be fine. Depends what type of riding you're doing though. The front shock doesn't really matter. Your weight is over the rear, which has adjustable rebound. I pretty much torture tested this bike DH'ing which led to it's eventual failure. I wouldn't really recommend riding it the way I did. For XC riding or short commutes you should be alright. Hope this helps!

I have found this bike to be a great machine with 2 exceptions one I had to make a rear rack for both battery protection and to have a rear mounted carrier situation , next problem was with the rear tire so I upgraded ie bought a heavy duty tire and tube, since then no problem have done 50 miles on a charge with a fair amount of peddling and conservation of power

No, the suspension is not like that of a gas powered dirt bike. If you are looking to use it on a track, buy a 50cc dirt bike. A used one won't cost that much more.

Its a excelent starter bike. As for doing jumps we havent done any with ours but it is built perty strong and think it would hold out good with that.

Was good for most rides. However, when the trail became very bumpy my experience was very different. I ride a small frame, so spacing and clearances are very limited. In bumpy conditions, the action of the rear suspension allowed the bottom of the bottle to rub the tire, damaging the attached cage and releasing the bottle.
